"Cracket-dadadadadadada! Cracket-dadadadada!"
When a character is expecting a response from some audience but none is forthcoming, or when a joke falls flat, typically cricket noises will be heard cutting through the silence. The Brothers Chaps did not originate this joke, but they get a lot of use out of it.
